Free Arizona Coyotes vs. Minnesota Wild NHL Prediction
The Wild’s offense has been strong, but the defense has been questionable and I expect that will hurt them again in this game. Look for the Wild to run up the score, but the Coyotes will also score a couple and push this game over the total. Back the over.
